On the evening of the next day, the team successfully escaped from the Sanuki Mountains. During this period, they did not encounter any tracking or attacks by Skynet or the Ninja sect forces. They did not even find any signs of activities of the armed forces. Everything... seemed to have returned to the usual tranquility of the Sanuki Mountains.
.Perhaps Di Cheng's speculation is correct, and Skynet simply cannot afford such a tragic loss, such bone-wrenching casualties. Or perhaps, this brief collision in the Sanuki Mountains will become a bomb that truly detonates the world.
However, Di Cheng was temporarily unable to take care of all this, because in the process of leaving the mountain range, the pain of Shen Aoming and others gradually weakened, but their weakness seemed to increase. Mei Yan fell into a coma midway, and Qian Ji was half asleep.
Being awake undoubtedly aggravated their worries. After checking their situation, even Di Yunyi began to doubt whether his judgment was correct.
In the early morning, the stealth team successfully arrived at the designated pier within the designated time. The Qianmu team member responsible for the reception carefully picked up Shen Aoming and others.
Standing at the port pier, Hua Nongying, who was walking at the end, suddenly stopped and looked up at the stars and the waning moon in the sky. Her eyes became responsible: "I don't deny that I was biased against you in the past, and I never recognized your existence, but this time,
...Dicheng, thank you, I, Hua Nongying... will remember this kindness!"
Di Cheng smiled silently, shook his head and said: "I don't deny that I am quite resistant to this rescue operation, but I am deeply honored to be able to rescue the Great Buddha."
Hua Nongying didn't look back. Her cold expression showed a smile for the first time, a sincere smile. Without saying anything more, she left the dock and boarded the freighter.
"Have a safe journey. Their safety is in your hands."
More than ten minutes later, the cargo ship officially set sail, carrying the severely injured and scarred people away from the Japanese port, announcing that the rescue operation had officially come to an end.
The only ones left were Di Cheng, Xi Yuhuang and Anni.
"Ziyi gave birth to my child, and now it is in the hands of the emperor. I must take it back!" At this moment, Emperor Xi Yu told Di Cheng the reason for the matter.
"Child?" Di Cheng raised his eyebrows and looked at Xi Yuhuang in surprise.
"That's right, kid." Xi Yuhuang stood on the pier, facing the sea breeze, his long hair and black clothes fluttering in the wind, his evil eyes becoming more and more fierce.
Di Cheng's raised brows slowly knit together and turned to look at Annie.
Anne said: "Xuanyuan Ziyi is pregnant. She was pregnant before leaving China. Our investigation during this period can completely confirm it. As for what happened after Xuanyuan Ziyi returned to China, our abilities are limited and we can only make a rough investigation.
The problem now is not the child, but the emperor! The current Japanese Skynet is ambitious and vicious by nature, but he is also scheming. It is abnormal for him to agree to Xuanyuan Ziyi giving birth to a child. According to my speculation, most likely he wants to
We want to use the 'child' to control Xuanyuan Ziyi and then carry out other conspiracies, so... the child is probably within the royal family!"
Xi Yuhuang said: "Ziyi begged me to save the child. The child is in the hands of the emperor, and the emperor has been in the royal family recently. She did not come back with me this time for the safety of the child. The other purpose of going back was to try her best.
Investigate where the child is hiding. What we have to do is rescue him intact."
Di Cheng recovered from this weird and impactful question, but... "There is something that may not be appropriate to say now... Hmm... Are you sure Xuanyuan Ziyi's feelings for you are true? Are you sure she is not setting it up?"
trap?"
Di Cheng had to consider this matter carefully. After all, Xuanyuan Ziyi was Japanese and was once the number one spy under Nakamura Yuze. His best skills were disguise and strategy. Xi Yuhuang was unparalleled in other aspects, except emotionally.
Preferring to be simple.
Does Xuanyuan Ziyi really care about Xi Yuhuang? How important is the meaning of "country" to her? Or, does the emperor still hold Xuanyuan Ziyi's other bargaining chips? This in itself is a counter-measure and a bitter plan.
Xi Yuhuang stared at the roaring ocean, his handsome and evil face was calm: "I believe in my own judgment. Even if it is wrong, I admit it!"
Di Cheng shook his head and smiled, exhaled softly, remained silent for a moment, and said: "Since you have decided, I will accompany you. But you have to promise me that if the situation goes wrong, allow me... to kill her!"
Xi Yuhuang's evil eyes swayed slightly, but he did not answer the question. Instead, he said: "I have a request. I have never asked you for eight years. This time, only this time."
Di Cheng looked at Xi Yuhuang's handsome side face and smiled with a complicated expression: "I knew you liked her, but I didn't expect you would fall in love with her, and...so deeply. Tell me, what request, as long as you can do it
, try your best.”
"As for her betrayal, I hope I will be responsible, not her."
"Aren't you afraid of attracting criticism?"
"Do I care?" Xi Yuhuang's simple words could not be simpler, but they caused Anne beside him to move. Her eyes looking at Xi Yuhuang couldn't help but turn to admiration. Yes, what a man said.
Di Cheng raised his head slightly and said indifferently: "Just saying this to you, if Xuanyuan Ziyi is taking advantage of your feelings, I will never let her go. As for the betrayal back then, the matter has passed. I will
Making peace for you is...a gift to my sister-in-law and nephew."
Xi Yuhuang's calm and indifferent face couldn't help but reveal a smile: "If you really think about it, I seem to be older than you."
"Yeah??"
"You should call me sister-in-law." Anne also smiled, because of the special brotherly relationship between Di Cheng and Xi Yuhuang, but then added: "If she is really willing to join Tianmen."
"Where is the Japanese royal family?" Xi Yuhuang didn't want to discuss the authenticity of Xuanyuan Ziyi anymore. He slowly raised his right hand, and the hovering Haidongqing let out a loud eagle cry, swooped down, and finally stood firmly before Xi Yuhuang.
The sharp claws on her wrist were in contact with her skin, which made Anne feel frightened.
"On the surface it is Tokyo, but it is actually Ise Shrine in Mie Prefecture. In other words, there are two royal families in Japan, one bright and one dark. Which royal family did Xuanyuan Ziyi mention to you?
"
Two? Emperor Xi Yu’s breath was slightly stagnant, obviously not aware of this problem. Or, who knew that there would be two more ‘royals’ that symbolized supreme power.
From Xi Yuhuang's expression, Anne could also guess that Xuanyuan Ziyi didn't mention it at all. "According to our investigation, there has been a lot of movement in Tokyo in recent times, but I infer that this may be just a smoke bomb, and the child is really hiding.
The ground is at Ise Jingu Shrine. The emperor and other high-ranking officials are also at Ise Jingu Shrine!"
There was no need for Di Cheng and others to ask, Anne had already begun to introduce: "Ise Shrine is an important representative of Japanese shrines. It is different from the war significance of Jing-Kokushin-Shrine. Its existence is to provide sacrifices and worship. Since ancient times,
It has existed since its construction, and later evolved into the royal family's secret residence and place of worship and worship.
Ise Jingu Shrine is mainly composed of the inner palace "Emperor Daijingu" and the outer palace "Toyodai Shrine". The inner palace is dedicated to Amaterasu Daimikami, and the outer palace is dedicated to Toyogo Daimikami. In addition, there are other shrines, a shrine, and a shrine.
The shrines and shrines under its jurisdiction are also collectively referred to as shrines, and are commonly known as the 125 shrines of Ise Jingu."
"125 shrines? I can understand that... Ise Shrine is very large?? The situation inside is very complicated??"
"It's very big! The 125 shrines each have their own characteristics and are related to each other. They cover a large area alone. The forest area around and inside the shrine reaches an astonishing 5,500 hectares, with the inner palace and main shrine as the center.
The 90 hectares of forest and the 90 hectares of forest centered on the outer palace main palace have been strictly prohibited from logging since the palace was built in ancient times. They can be called virgin forests. The remaining 5320 hectares of forest are only used for the internal construction of the shrine.
, almost without large-scale destruction.
You can imagine the area of 5,500 hectares, you can also imagine the 125 shrines and their affiliated buildings located in it, and you can also imagine...the emperor's royal family, as the force behind Japan, how many guardian troops there are!
Not to mention how to find the children in the 125 social palaces inside the vast forest, their dense guard troops alone are enough to deal with any enemy invasion."
Di Cheng frowned slightly, and Xi Yuhuang's face also changed slightly. Obviously, they didn't expect the problem to be so serious.
5,500 hectares of primeval forest?? 125 independent and interconnected palaces?? Densely guarded troops??
It doesn’t seem to be much easier than running through a maze! Looking for it? What’s going on? Even if you don’t get lost, that’s fine!
"Xuanyuan Ziyi didn't give you any hints?" Di Cheng had to ask Xi Yuhuang.
Xi Yuhuang shook his head slowly and began to think silently.
Annie said: "Ise Shrine is a holy place in the hearts of Japanese people. It is not difficult to find an introduction album about it, but..."
"But what?"
"Only part of the outer shrine of Ise Jingu is open to the public. The interior belongs to the core area and no one has ever entered it. Moreover, satellite jamming devices are also set up in some areas. No one will know the details unless they have been there in person.
Structure and characteristics. What I am most worried about is that Xuanyuan Ziyi's return empty-handed this time will arouse the emperor's dissatisfaction or suspicion, and then strengthen the defense system of Ise Shrine."
